The Senate Getting on With the Tariff Bill, SEVERAL MUCH MIXED VOTES. The Arkansas Contest Occupies the Time of the House. BRECKENRIDGE IN HIS OWNSDEFENSE, — SENATE. After the reading of the journal of yesterday the tariff bill was taken up and the considera- tion of the free list was proceeded with. Mr. Vance moved to strike out the proviso in Paragraph 457, relating to animals imported specially for breeding purposes. The proviso requires the animals to be pure blooded, of recognized breed, with record of pedigree. &c. The motion was defeated—yeas, 22; nays, 34. The House bill to authorize the contruction of a bridge across the Savannah river by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railway Company was reported and placed on the calendar. The Senate went back (in the consideration of the tariff bill) to paragraph 434, relating to gloves, which Mr. Plumb had yesterday moved to amend by striking out the additional rate on men’s gloves. The motion was defeated—yeas, 22; nays, 30—Mr. Plumb being the only repub- lican who voted yea, THE FREE LIST. The consideration of the free list was re- sumed. Mr. Quay moved to insert in the free list wild animals intended for zoological collec. tions, for scientific and educational purposes, and not for sale or profit. He made the mo- tion, ho said, at the suggestion of the Philadel- phia Zoological Society. Mr. Aldrich said there was no objectiou to it. ‘The motion was agreed to, On motion of Mr. Manderson, “art tional stops, composed of glass and metal” (an invention used in kindergartens), was inserted in the free hist. FREE BOOKS, Mr. Hoar moved to insert in paragraph 489 (allowing the free importation of books for colleges, educational and religious societies, &c.,) the words, “‘or by any college, academy, school or seminary of learning in the United States in its own behalf or in behalf of any of its professors or teachers.” Agreed to. Paragraph 509 was amended so as to read: “Common blue clay, in casts, suitable only for the manufacture of crucibles.” “ARTICLES OF LUXURY.” Mr. Vance moved to strike out of the free list “common palm leaf fans” on the ground that they were an article of luxury. As he made the motion he was using actively one of those “articles of luxury “Do you calla palm leaf fan an article of luxury?” Mr. Aldrich asked with an astonished air. _ “I should say not this morning,” Mr. Gray interposed. “It is not as much an article of necessity,” Mr. Vance replied, ‘‘as the table ware from which I ate my breakfast this morning, and which is taxed heavily. The motion was defeated. TAILORS AND DUDES. Mr. Vance moved tostrike out paragraph 540—“fashion plates”—on the ground that they were for the use of tailors and dudes. De- feated. Paragraph 545. potting fish on the freo list, was laid aside without action in the absence of te Sherman, who had an interest in the sub- ject. Mr. Vance moved to strike out of the free list currants und dates, Mr, Aldrich opposed the motion and said that it showed how Senators on the other side were making a new departure, The motion was rejected. BINDING TWINE. Mr. Davis moved to insert binding twino on the free list and Mr. Vance moved to amend the amendment by adding cotton bagging. Mr. Vance’s motion was defeated—yeas, 19; nays, 26—Mr. Paddock being the only republi- can who voted aye, ‘The question recurring on Mr. Davis’ amend- ment Mr. Barry said he would vote for it not- withstanding the hostile vote cast by republi- can Senators. No argument could be made in favor of free binding twine that did not apply as strongly to free cotton bagging. He was as- tonished that republican Senators who favored the one should vote against the other, He re- garded that vote as an unfair discrimination against the southern section, Mr. Vance said that he had waited for a reply from republican Senators to Mr. Berry's re- marks, but he had waited in vain. If he were in their position he also would maintain ELOQUENT SILENCE. He was going to vote for Mr. Davis’ proposi- tion in order to show the other side the differ- ence between a democrat who pursued princi- ple and a republican who went for all that was tm sight. [Laughter.] Mr. Carlisle pointed out the inconsistency of senators in voting for free binding twine and against free cotton bagging. ‘Ihe two articles were made of the same materials and those ma- terials were on the free list, Mr. Washburn agreed that there was no parallel between the two cases, Binding twine was made exclusively of sisal grass and maniila (on which there was uo duty), while cotton bagging was made largely of jute, on which there was a high duty, Mr. Turpic could sce no possible defense for imposing a duty either on binding twine or on cotton bagging, unless it were the necessity of preserving the symmetry of the bill—a sym- metry of « rapine and spoilation, ‘MR. SHERMAN ARGUED AGAINST MR, DAVIS’ AMENDMENT, on the ground that if binding twine and cotton bagging were left to Amorican competition tho resul’ would be to establish lower prices. That was his deliberate judgment. As to eombina- tions, he said that whenever it was shown to the satisfaction of a competent court that there | was a “trust” in any article to put up prices he would be in favor of putting that article on the free list, but he did not regard an associa- tion of men to buy the foreign raw material as within the meaning of the mischief of u trast, Mr. Jones (Ark.) replied to Mr. Sherman and said that while that Senator always professea his desire to suppress trusts he never voted in support of his professions. alr, Evarts said that he had no difficulty in drawing a distinction between binding twine and cotton bagging. Tho unity of tho system of protection was to be finally controlled by the questions of symmetry and of practical value vo come from the wide distribution of the great multitude of interests subject to that system. He did not think that any harm was to come to the farmers by maintaining for the manufactur- ers of bin twine the proposition that the labor was to be done on this of the water and not on the other side, ‘MR, ALDRICH CONTRADICTED ® statement made by Mr. Jones as to a trust in cotton bagging and asserted that there was not now and never had been such a trust, There had been in 1888 a combination of three or four persons who made « contract for the en- tire cotton bagging product, but that was not atrust, It was joy pte attempt to corner the market and it only existed for one sea- son, Mr. Gibson denounced the sectionalism and selfishness of the bill. “ExonossING.” Mr. Gray said that the description given by Mr. Aldrich of the attempt to corner cotton bagging was the common law “er it the tions under w! £ E ? i a ve Mr, Davis’ amendment, the words “burlaps and bags for grain made of burlana.” Mr. Turpie commented on the uso by Mr. Evarts of the word “unity” in place of the word “symmetry.” Perhaps unity was the bet- ter word to describe the bill. Sena- tors on tho other side had boasted t! under the pending bill revenue was only an incident. In his view revenue under the bill was not an incident; it was only an acci- dent. [Leughter.] The vote was taken on Mr. Jones’ amend- ment and it was rejected—yoas, 26; nays, 28, The republicans who voted aye were Messrs, Allen, Mitchell and Plumb. Neither Mr. In- galls, Mr. Manderson nor Mr. Paddock voted. REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS JOIN HANDS. Mr. Davis’ amendment was then agreed to— yeas, 38; nays, 18. All the democrats except Mr. Blodgett voted eye, in company with the following named republicans: Messrs. Allen, Allison, Cuillom, Davis, Ingalls, McMillan, Manderson, Mitchell, Moody, Pierce, Plumb, Power, Sawyer, Spooner and Washburn. ‘The negative votes were given by Messrs. Aldrich, Blodgett, Cameron, Chandler, Dawes, Ed- munds, Evarts, Frye, Hawley, gins, His- cock, Hoar, Platt, Quay, Sherman, Stewart, Stockbridge and Walcott. WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR IT. Mr. Paddock stated, at a subsequent stage of the proceedings, that he was unavoidably ab- sent when the vote was taken on Mr. Davis’ amendment. If he had been present he would have voted for it, as he had done yesterday. On tho motion of Mr. Carlisie the word “degras” was struck off the freo list (para- graph 573). Mr. Plumb moved to strike off the free list (paragraph 579) “hides, raw or uncured, whether dry, salted or pickled,” and argued in ey of the motio d the hope that the mo- tion would not prevail. The motion was rejected—yeas, 15; nays, 29. A MIXED VOTE. The aftirmative votes were all given by re- publicans, as follows: Messrs, Allen, Allison, Cameron, Cullom, Higgins, Ingalls, Mitchell, LAID A RAIL ACROSS.

WEAVER IN IT. Again Put Up in the Seventh lows District—Other Nominations. Des Morxes, Iowa, Sept. 5.—The union labor congressional convention yesterday was the scene of trouble among the reformers. Gen. J.B. Weaver having declined to accept the democratic nomination his followers did not want him nominated It is understood that if the independent republican candidate, J. H. Barnett, can be forced trom the track Weaver will accept. Larnett hada strong following im the convention and they wanted to indorse him. The Weaver men preferred to adjourn without action and await developments, but a vote was forced, resuiting in the defeat of Barnett and the selection of Weaver. When notified of his nomination Gen, Weaver stated be would take it under advisement.

The injured list will foot up about seven, the most seriously injured being Mrs. Atkinson of Tren- ton, N. ¥., who was badly mjured about the back; Mra. Jenkins of Brooklyn, hi badly cut, and Trainman Saulspaugh, back wrencyed. ‘The others have backs and limbs wrenched, but none of the cases are fatal.

Mr. Vest moved to ingert in the free list “tim- ber, hewn and sawed, squared and sided, and wed boards, plank, deals and other lumber of hemlock, white wood, sycamore, white pine and bass wood.” Mr. Manderson moved to strike ont of the amendment the words ‘hemlock, white wood, nd bass wood,” leaving the amend- ment to apply only to lumber of white pine. Mr. Carlisle referred to the mconsistency of the policy which on the one hand offers a bounty for the planting of trees and on the other hand offers a bounty (in the shape of a protective duty) for cutting down trees. and he advocated the placing of lumber oun the free list, so as to get the lumber from Canada, PROTECTING THE LUMBER INTEREST. Mr. Platt argued in favor of protecting the lumber interest, as well as every other interest of the country. Mr. Spooner said that he was not surprised at a proposition from the democratic side of the chamber to put lum- ber or any other_—product on the free list, but he was surprised that a Sen- ator who believed in the protective system should propose to put white pine on the free list. The proposition was a peculiar one. It left yellow pine and other wood products dutiable at @ thousand feet and it singled out the white _ pine products of Wisconsin and Michigan and one or two other states to be put on the free list. Why, he asked, should that be do: No pro- duct represented labor more than white pine lumber. What reason could be given for pro- tecting American miners against Canadian miners and refusing to protect American lum- bermen against Canadian lumbermen, Mr. Frye argued against the amendment, There was a capital of three hundred millions invested in the lumber industry of the United Statesand there were a million able-bodied men employed in that business. THE COMPETITOR OF THE UNITED STATES in lumber was Canada, where the wages of the men employed in the business were from 25 to 385 per cent lower than in the United States. How could any Senator, he asked, who believed in protection, or who said he believed in it, vote to expose that million of laboring men in the United States to competition with the lumber- men of Canada? What kind of protectionist was such a Senator? The Senators from Maine had voted duties on iron ore, coal, wool and scores of articles which Maine's interest was to have free. And why? Because those Senators were protectionists, And now, should the Senators trom Minnesota or Kansas or Nebraska (because they thought that lumber might be cheaper in those states if on the free list vote to remove duties on lumber and stil] announce themselves protectionists? There was no consistency in such protection. There was no right and no justice in it, and the declaration had better be made by those Sena- tors that they were free traders and would vote for free trade. CANADIAN DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, Mr. Stewart argued that of all the countries in the world Canada was the last that ought to be favored in an American — tar- iff Dill, because Canada discriminated against everything that came from the United States. Tho amendment wes a square give- away of the rights of the American people. Mr. Blair also opposed the amendment, and said that if lumber were put on the free list the tariff would not be worth whistling after, Mr. Dolph also opposed it, and said that he was not ready to joi the Senate corps of sap- persand miners who were seeking to under- mine the wall of protection, HOUSE. Immediately after the reading of the journal the Clayton-Breckinridge case was again taken up and Mr. Breckinridge was accorded the floor to argue in his own behalf. He charged the chairman of the committee on elections (Mr. Rowell) with impropriety in prejudging the caso. That gentleman, in discussing another election case, had referred to the case from the second Arkansas district and had declared that in that district five political murders had oc- curred, He called upon the gentleman to name the murdered men. officers of the road and physicians left ona special train at 2:30a.m. for the scene of the wreck. Of the eight sleepers comprising the train but two were lefton the track. The others were either on the embankment or lying across the rails. ‘Traffic is at a standstill and not a train was moving after midnight. It is un- likely that the blockade will be lifted today. ‘The train was in charge of Conductor Hudson, who wae in the first sleeper when the crash came. He ielt himself hurled through the air. TURNED A SOMERSAULT. The car turned.a complete somersault and settled in the bottom of the ditch bottom up. He and Trainman Saulspaugh crawled out the window and, after procuring a light, released Mrs. Atkinson, who was the only passenger in the ca ‘The woman was borne to the rear and placed in a sleeping compartment in one of the rear cars, All of the other passengers were taken out through the windows of the partly wrecked cars and assisted to the rear, where they were made comfortable. Among the sixty passengers were a number of New Yorkers and nearly half of the total were women, ly all were asleep in their berths and knew nothing until they felt themselves dashed from their bunks and opened their eyes to tind themselves lying across other passengers. provised buuks in the relief train were made for the injured by three Albany physicians and their wants were tenderly administered to. Fortunately none of the cars took fire or the loss of life would have been great. Most of the passengers got off at Albany and re- mained at the hotel for a while to collect their scattered senses, All were able to | proceed on their journey except Mrs, Atk.nson, who was taken to the city hospital on a stretcher. Mr. Max Leclerc, correspondent for @ Paris journal, who was on the train, told a reporter that every one behaved nobly on the train and h tried to assist the other. Mr. Leclerc says the crash was tre- mendous come. Superintendent Bissell will this morn- ing institute a rigorous investigation to ascer- tain, if possible, who placed the obstruction on the track. ‘he destruction of the train must have been decided upon in aburry, for the wrecked train was but twenty-five minutes be- hind the first section and that came through all right. The loss in money to the company will foot up into the thousan THE ENGINEE! TORY. The statement of the engineer is to the effect that he was rnnning ata high speed, as he was late. The first indication he had of an ob- struction on the track was the complete turn- ing over of hisengine with a terrific crash. For a while he was stunned, but he soon re- covered and he and his fireman started back toward the express, due in twelve minutes, ‘They succeeded in signaling itand then re turned to their own train. The front of the engine and the small trucks were badly smashed, Examination shows that not only was the obstruction placed on the up track, but the down track was also blockaded. Two sengers started for Albany, and as soon as they«rrived the wrecking train was sent out. It Superintendent Bissell said this morning: is the greatest miracle of the age that eve body on the train was not killed.” Another tempt was made to wreck a passenger train his morning. The train from the west due at 5:10 this morning came slowly crecp- when th saw an obstruction on the track. im was stopped and it was found that three ties had been thrown on the tracks by some miscreant. They were removed and the train proceeded to this city. REWARD FOR THE FIENDS. The plane for placing the obstructions on both tracks must have been carefuliy luid and quickly accomplished. The first section of the Montreal sleeper had passed over that point within the hour before, A bystander at the scene of the wreck said the evident intention in placing the obstructions on the tracks was to accomplish the destruction of the valuable freight trains which pass both ways over the Hudson river division at that time of mght, the train wreckers evidently thinking that the | second section, which was wrecked, had passed on time, The three vestibuled cars, which were ditched, remain intact. They sustained no damage beyond broken windows and | scratched paint work. Each car cost $17,000. ‘The monetary loss appears to be small compared with the value of the rolling stock which composed the train. Supt. Bissell said that these cars were the finest in the world in point of strength and durability, and itis undoubt- edly owing to this fact that no lives were lost. All trains due south between midnight and7 a. m. were held in this city and Greenbush. Third Vice President Webb has telegraphed Supt. Bissell that be has offered a reward of Mr. Rowell said that they were Benjamin, Smith, Bentley and Clayton, while an attempt had been made to assassinate Wahl. MR. BRECKINRIDGE DENIED the correctness of this statement and called attention tothe fact that the gentleman him- selfconcurred in a report which said that there was a suspicion only of these things being true. He denied that the marders were polit- ical murders. His distinguished and lamented opponent had been foully and infamously mur- dered. But no one had produced any evidence that it waa in wef sense the result of public antipatny or had come from collective or organized effort. The state of Arkavsas had done ten times as much in money and effort as it had rer before to detect and punish the guilty. The crime was a stain upon the state and an injury to the state; and as long as it was loft in oblivion it was suscepti- ble of being used by unscrupulous men for po- litical purposes. But men who either on the floor or tn the press that the people of Arkansas, or any grou, people represen’ that state, fad ever adie’ sympathy with this crime, infamous that ‘Mr. Breckinri had 33 rae secoorniny = moan, and which they knew to be false. ocratic applause. } 48 TO JUDGE M'CLURE.
